Holiday focus

[ddubb76]

I kept reading how the weather may affect the game. I’m curious if the holiday schedule will affect the games. Most of the players are used to being off at Christmas, and doing their shopping, will that have any effect?

Cold weather causes physiological responses. Pushing your trip to Nordstrom’s back two days does not.

Tennessee had ~20 years of no, bad, small early December Bowls to practice (or not practice for) during this period of the year...to practice for practicing this time of the year. Capisce?

You're worried the players are going to be thrown off because football interrupted their normal shopping schedule?

I mean lets be honest how much shopping could these guys possibly be doing?

Depends on their NIL….

They can shop online for gold chains and earrings.

Does Amazon have some kind of outlet store in Knoxville that the rest of us don't know about?

Shopping was just a small piece example. No I don’t think that them not being able to shop will have a big affect. Just the off time really is what I was concerned about. When they win, they will follow that up with a trip to rose bowl. That will eat up pretty much their entire holiday break. I’m not fussing about it, just concerned that their focus may not be all on football, that’s not just our team but all playoff teams without a bye.

We in here---we're supposed to playing a playoff game Saturday, and we in here talkin bout shopping. I mean, listen: We talking about shopping. Not the game. Not the game. Not the game. We talking about shopping. Not the game. Not the game that they go out there and give their all for Tennessee. Not the game. We talking about shopping, man." Thanks Allen,.

Players have NIL money. What better time of year for a new millionaire than Christmas?

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

Not only could they be missing Christmas shopping, what if they haven't had time to have sat on Santa's lap to let him know what they want for Christmas?

If they were smart they got all of their shopping out of the way on November 29th. Or at least December 2nd.
